Birthday Dinner for 10 in Houston- Suggestions?

Hi Folks! I live in Austin, but am trying to pull together a last minute birthday dinner for my Dad's 60th in Houston next Friday night. Would love input from some of the local Chowhounds to come up with something special and memorable! There are a couple of parameters I'd like to work within:

1. Hoping to keep to between $30-75/person

2. As a group, we're not talking about terribly sophisticated or creative palettes. Dad is a traditional- strictly meat & potatoes, tex mex, "rustic" food fan (meaning, unfortunately, no sushi, pan asian, indian etc) AND- he's not a huge fan of Italian, so although I wouldn't completely cross it off the list, it probably wouldn't be our first choice.

***I would also consider Sunday Bruch as an alternative if there's something too great to miss that might offer more "bang for my buck". We just did Hugo's over the holidays; was great but would like to try something new....***

What part of town, ehill? Taste of Texas (I-10 just east of BW8) is always nice and I was part of a dinner for 12 there a few months ago and they handled it well. Standard meat and potatoes, no surprises, plenty for everyone to like, family oriented, and service was great. They have a nice private room you can reserve in advance. I dont know if they do anything special for a birthday, but it couldn't hurt to ask.
